I would suggest you never live in New Hampshire. I do not know where you live, but if you ever lived in the Northeast you would understand what us embattled conservatives must do time to time. In order not to lose every election, we have to accept less than a whole loaf to win once in a while, and hopefully move the ball a few yards down the field. If we ignored reality and ceded the whole field to the Democrats by fielding candidates who would never get more than 40% of the vote, what would that accomplish. So yes, we sometimes have to look the other way on some cultural issues so maybe we can not get taxed out of existence. It is easy to be pure when all around you feel the same way, but it is not easy when reality tells you that you are in a minority of 30%. So what do we do, we vote for the most conservative candidate available, even if that person is just slightly to the right of the Democrat. Why, because the only other chose is losing. And losing is for losers.
